Selfhostable notes app that encrypts the files on Disk? in c/selfhosted

[–] HamalaKarris 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (4 children)

In my mind at least this would be solved by the "vault" needing to be decrypted with a password every time notes are accessed/saved with the password acting as the key? I'm not terribly well educated on encryption though.

Oh thanks for the heads-up! Will look more into it then.

After some more research it seems that Joplin only E2E encrypts notes at transport and not at rest[1]? e.g. it only stores plain text files on the harddrive just like Obsidian does? This sadly makes it not viable for my use case :/

Selfhostable notes app that encrypts the files on Disk? (self.selfhosted)

Hey everyone! :)

I am currently looking to replace Obsidian with a self-hostable alternative (that preferably also uses Markdown - but it's not a must) but instead of storing the files directly on disk has a way to have all the files within in an encrypted vault / binary format.

Reason being I have very very sensitive data that needs to be stored (employee & medically related).

I read that Logseq used to support this feature but it has since been deprecated, some light googling didn't surface any results other than that so I would be delighted if anyone had any suggestions!

Thanks so much in advance for any and all help! :)

edit: Forgot to mention that it needs to support Linux as well as Android

I have nothing to add except that I absolutely LOVE your comics! I haven't seen a single one that didn't brighten my day - keep doing what you're doing! :)

If that isn't AI generated I will eat my left shoe.

Considerations for a homeserver thats open to the internet? (Jellyfin / Nextcloud) (self.selfhosted)

submitted 1 year ago by HamalaKarris to c/selfhosted

Hey guys,

after reading up on selfhosting for weeks now I finally decided to take the plunge today and tried setting up my own nextcloud & jellyfin instances. For this purpose I am using a mini PC. (similiar to an Intel NUC)

Now I would like to make both services available to the internet so I could show images to friends while I'm at their place / watch movies with them.

The problem is I am currently not very educated on which security measures I would have to take to ensure that my server / mini PC doesn't immediately become an easy target for a hacker, especially considering that I would host private photos on the nextcloud.

After googling around I feel like I find a lot of conflicting information as well as write-ups that I don't fully grasp with my limited knowledge so if you guys have any general advice or even places to learn about all these concepts I would be absolutely delighted!

Thank you guys sooo much in advance for any and all help, the c/selfhosted community has been nothing but a great resource for me so far!!!

I have been using windows exclusively for 20 years now but just made the switch to Linux (EndeavourOS - an arch distro) 1 week ago and I couldn't be happier!

99% of all applications that I use work just as well (including games) and for the very very few that won't work (like Valorant) I am using a dual boot setup. The reason that I made the switch was that I got anxious with W10 EOL approaching since I would rather stop using windows altogether than using W11.

Don't worry, you did perfectly.

Best alternative to selfhosting email? E.g. email hosting provider for a custom domain in c/selfhosted

[–] HamalaKarris 1 points 1 year ago

Oh okay, I wasn't sure since you mentioned email forwarding and I saw a couple offerings (like Cloudflare) that only offer email forwarding if I understood correctly.

Thanks again! I'm gonna check them out.

Sorry I should have clarified that I'm not just looking to receive but also send emails from botj of the domains that I use.

Edit: do you mind clarifying why using catchall is a bad idea :)?

Hey guys,

after looking into selfhosting email it seems to me that it's probably better if I use an existing email hoster like Namecheap or Porkbun.

Now I saw that Porkbun doesn't offer catchall emails so I can't use it for my usecase.

Do you guys have any recommendations for a reasonably priced email hoster for a custom domain that offers all basic features like catchall? The purpose is for one domain I use for my personal stuff and one for a small side hustle/ small business.

Thanks so much in advance for your help!

I would also love to know the app! I actually did the exact same thing except I used my To-Do list app where Reddit is Fun used to be and it has honestly helped already.
